Losses

Prayers for the Farkas family in their darkest hours.

The memorial for young Alex is haunting.

His dad, Dave, is one of the good guys with a really tough job in our criminal justice system.

Prayers for Fred Kientzle. If you are a bad guy on the loose and Fred comes after you, forget it. You are done. And I do mean that Sincerely.

His mother passed away last weekend after a long fight. They managed to get her home from St. Louis and she died with family, the way it should be.

Sometimes it's good to step back and realize we are all human. We all bleed. Life is unfair to everybody, at times.

Truly a tragic incident. I know Alex' step-mother and step-sisters, who are great folks. If there is a lesson in this as there is in all things, it is that for ANYONE, a momentary lapse in judgement can have irreversible consequences. Learn from this, young people. Our prayers to the family. RB
